Vegan Cauliflower Cheese

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and lightly grease a large rimmed pan (or line with parchment paper).

Step 2

Place the cauliflower on the prepared pan, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss gently in the pan.

Step 3

Roast for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden brown. Once it's finished roasting, lower the heat to 350 degrees F.

Step 4

While the cauliflower roasts, soak the cashews - Bring 3-4 cups of water to a boil (I use my tea kettle). Pour the hot water over the cashews and let soak for 5 minutes or up to an hour.

Step 5

Drain the cashews, discard the soaking water and add to a high powered blender along with the vegetable broth, milk, nutritional yeast and salt. Blend until very smooth.

Step 6

Once the cauliflower has roasted, transfer it to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the cauliflower and gently toss to coat.

Step 7

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, until the cheese sauce has thickened and is bubbly and golden. Place under broiler for a few minutes if desired for a deeper brown on top.

Step 8

Sprinkle with parsley if desired and serve warm.
